The Emptiness Machine Lyrics by Linkin Park
[Verse 1]
Your blades are sharpened with precision
Flashing your favorite point of view
I know you’re waiting in the distance
Just like you always do
Just like you always do
[Pre-Chorus]
Already pulling me in
Already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, I
[Chorus]
Let you cut me open
Just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don’t know why I’m hoping
For what I won’t receive
Falling for the promise of
The emptiness machine
The emptiness machine
[Verse 2]
Going around like a revolver
It’s been decided how we lose
‘Cause there’s a fire under the altar
I keep on lying to
I keep on lying to
[Pre-Chorus]
Already pulling me in
Already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, I
[Chorus]
Let you cut me open
Just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don’t know why I’m hoping
For what I won’t receive
Falling for the promise of
The emptiness machine
The emptiness machine
[Bridge]
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part
[Chorus (Reprise)]
I let you cut me open
Just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don’t know why I’m hoping
So fucking naive
Falling for the promise of
The emptiness machine
The emptiness machine
[Outro]
[I only wanted to be part of something]
The emptiness machine
[I only wanted to be part of]
The emptiness machine
